The loading time improvements sound really good. Hopefully these will all apply to the PS5 as well.

800 gb for the internal ssd - lol it's less than Sony. Why didn't they just say that. Or is Sony's even less than 815?

Those load times still seem long lol but I guess you gotta experience it

Exactly my thoughts. It's great to change from 1 min 35 sec to 52 sec in RDR2, but that should be a given of we think it's a current gen game...

It's faster, OK, but in no case I would think "wow this is incredibly fast" waiting 50 seconds to load a game.

Quite disappointed with that.

I think we should expect that games that are built natively to take advantage of the SSD will have some major improvements compared to last-gen games in that regard.

These games are not really designed to take advantage of SSDs, so that is to be expected. Nex-gen games should have dramatically faster loading. This is just a bonus for older games.

It's still backwards compatible games and not natively targeted to a console with a capable ssd, I think that makes a difference.

remember none of these games they played are optimize for the SSD. It's just doing it with the regular game

Keep in mind this is just the benefits of going from HDD to SSD. None of these games have been optimized for Series X or an SSD.

Yeah this is what I want to know too. Can we get these vids added to OP?

IGN said: "More importantly, this thing is quiet. It's almost inaudible when it's idle, and in Red Dead Redemption 2, for instance, it's still pretty quiet – much more so than the Xbox One X, which gets noticeably louder under full GPU load."

Wow. Look how fast and quickly that OS is loading and moving. I especially still suffer studders and hang-ups in the My Games & Apps on my Xbox One X.
